How can the Public make donations to Hong Kong Museum of History? How is the selection process of proposed donations?

If you would like to make a donation of historical object(s) to Hong Kong Museum of History, you could first let us have the basic information such as your name, contact, description of the proposed donation and images of objects etc. via the following ways:

You could also offer your donation in the collection campaigns frequently held by the Museum.

Once we have received the information of the proposed donation, we will table the proposal in our regular Programme Committee Meeting and discuss it from criteria ranging from the Museum's Collection Policy, historical significance and research value of the proposed donation to physical condition of the historical objects in the donation, etc. according to our established mechanism. Our staff members will contact the donor as soon as our decision is made.

The Museum is truly grateful to receive generous support from the Public. For the collection campaign on Children's Life in Hong Kong held in 2012 and 2013, we had acquired more than 3,700 relevant artifacts donated from the generous Public that enriched the Museum's collections.
